The 00-18 Joe Bonamassa marks Martin’s second collaboration with
the blues-rock superstar, inspired by his prized pre-war 1937 00-18.
Its solid spruce top features a custom sunburst that replicates the
visual wear of Joe’s original instrument, capturing the look of a well-
played vintage classic while delivering modern reliability. Paired with
genuine mahogany back and sides, it offers warm bass, punchy
midrange, and articulate treble response in a comfortable 00 body
size that’s ideal for blues, folk, and fingerstyle playing. Golden Era
scalloped X-bracing enhances vintage-inspired resonance and
sustain, while details like faux tortoise binding and a GE Modified Low
Oval neck with standard taper provide a familiar feel rooted in pre-war
tradition. Built to capture the spirit of one of Joe’s most treasured
Martins, it’s a blues-ready 00 that invites you to dig in and make it
your own.
